    Best: 2 Girls 1 Cup

    Worst: Those ridicilous mobile phone earpieces people wear now. The idea was good, and they are a great invention for people working on building sites, IT folk, taxi/truck drivers and others who may need to talk whilst working.

    But people who walk around the streets with this black lump hanging off their ear all day should be shot.
